Let this then be the deep impression produced by the day. Let us go home to consider well the nature and evidence of our own union with Christ. You, dear children in the schools, for whom it may be well said, that she “travailed in birth till Christ be formed in you.” You young persons that have grown up under her care, and over whom she has watched with almost a maternal interest, since the day that you first crossed the threshold of the infant school. Take good heed every one of you to this great subject, and God grant that when Christ comes, like her, you may be found in Him. You that have been members of her different classes, and have had the privilege of uniting with her in the sweet communion of prayer and Christian intercourse, let the savour of those sacred hours long remain with you, and let the recollection ever rouse you to fresh and vigorous watchfulness as to your own union and abiding fellowship with Christ. Ye that are mourners here this day: ye that have come to this house of God with bleeding hearts. Dear Brethren, let your hearts be comforted. Think of her union with Christ. Remember well her past fellowship with him. Think of her now as sleeping with him, and soon about to return with Him. See what He has already done for her, and let the thought serve to raise your own heart heavenwards. Let it tend to satisfy your own soul in Him. Let it lead you to say, “All my fresh springs are in _thee_,” and may He “supply all you need according to his riches in glory by Chris Jesus!”
